I don't have anything with a Trackpoint, but it looks to me like putting
Section "InputClass"
# Novell Bug #597214
Identifier "IBM TPPS/2 TrackPoint"
MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"
MatchIsPointer "on"
Driver "evdev"
Option "EmulateWheel" "on"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
Option "EmulateWheelTimeout" "200"
EndSection
or similar in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-trackpoint.conf might fix it.
